Amara Organics Eye Gel





Some of you know that I have been trying to take back my skin care routine and Amara his helping me do that while looking young doing it. I recently had my hair cut over the weekend and was talking to the hair dresser as usual. When I said I had a 21 year old she kind of took it in stride but when I said I also had a 24 year old she said no way, are they yours? I said yes they are.

She then went on to tell me that I looked at the oldest 35 there was no way I was as old as I told her, even by looking at my hair which is all mine I might add. I was glad to hear that I have no thinning and not a grey hair to be found. They were all amazed. Yes I have good genes. My family on my father's side seems to age a bit slower then the norm.

So back to Amara. I have always had people guessing at my age but now that I am getting on the older side I am glad to keep them guessing and with using Amara and other brands out there I see this happening for years to come.

The Amara Organics Eye Gel can be used day and night which is what I do after I wash and tone, that later which I only do when I think about it. Once I use Amara I finish with a moisturizer, ready to go for the day or turn in for the night.

Amara Organics Eye Gel comes in a small pump container. You only need a tiny amount for around your eyes, forehead and cheeks. Easy to use and remember this is Certified Organic, Vegan, and Animal Cruelty free.

You can find Amara Organics Eye Gel and their other products here.

What is a Pikle?

MeasuPro BPM-20A Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

Since my husband is unsure of taking a blood pressure without something doing it for him, he was relieved when I got this in the mail. Now he doesn't have to worry and the color coded screens let him know if the blood pressure is OK or not. 

I also like the ease of using this one especially if you have to do this a lot during the day. Luckily we don't have to worry about this yet, but with my husband having edema I like to have one in the home just in case it becomes necessary to do daily.

The best part is that this comes with batteries so you can use it right away and not have to worry about searching for the right batteries. The batteries are also easy to buy, you won't have to make a special order and wait for a delivery because most places sell AAA batteries for a competitive price. 

Now to find out if they cold make this with different cuffs. One for children and one for those who are overweight. Then this would be the perfect First Aid Health Kit add on.

You can purchase MeasuPro BPM-20A Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor on Amazon.

Ice Ball Tray



I thought I knew everything there was about making ice. I always wondered why some ice cubes come out clear and others come out cloudy. Apparently if you used distilled water they come out clear all of the time. Who knew? Not me anyways.

Most of the time ice is just made for our family to use and when we have a party we just buy a big bag, but sometimes you have guests over and having a fun shaped ice cube that lasts a long time is really nice to have while you are enjoying your time together.

These are super easy to use and my children love them. They said that their drinks stay cooler longer. Now to just keep freezing to get ahead for all of the summer time drinks. It is getting warmer by the day.



You can purchase the Ice Ball Tray on Amazon.


This is what they have to say about their product. 
  • FEATURES - 4 Sphere Ice Ball Tray. Ice Balls were originally invented by Japanese bartenders to maintain drink quality.
    DESIGN - Perfect for parties, everyday use - you name it!
    MATERIAL - Super Flexible Silicone for easy ice removal - BPA Free
    USE - Use for Cocktails, Whiskey, Ice Coffee - You name it! Dishwasher and Freezer Safe

     
Ice Ball Tray from i2 GearDesign:
This tray features a four ball silicone mold that makes 4 large ice balls. These ice balls melt slower than traditional ice cubes which makes them perfect for anyone who likes to savor their drink for a longer period without the watery mess. Try them in your whiskey, cocktails, ice coffee - just about any beverage you can imagine!

Use:
These molds are great for entertaining, parties or everyday use. If you prefer keeping a larger inventory of ice balls, you could buy multiple trays or simply run multiple freeze cycles storing the ice in the freezer until needed.

How does this work?
Here's a quick step by step:
-Place the mold in sink and fill mold with distilled water to the top rim. Tap water will work but could bubble and create a cloudy ice ball.
-Press down on the top mold and release any excess water between the top and bottom molds.
-Place mold on a flat surface in the freezer.
-Once frozen, remove the top mold and place on the counter upside down.
-Flip the bottom mold over the top mold and separate the edges until the ice releases into the top mold slots. Note: The mold should separate from the ice very easily.

How long should they last?:
The amount of time your ice ball will last depends on ambient temperature, but you can expect it to last from 1 to 2 drinks.

Package contains:
  • 1x Silicone Four Ball Ice Tray
